Speaking at the 60th UNHRC session, India’s Counsellor Kshitij Tyagi criticized Pakistan’s human rights record and political situation. He urged Pakistan to focus on rescuing its economy and polity instead of coveting Indian territory or exporting terrorism. Tyagi called for the Council to remain objective and non-selective.

Reports indicate that Pakistan Air Force fighter jets dropped eight LS-6 bombs on Matre Dara village in the Tirah Valley. The strikes targeted Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan militants, who allegedly used civilians as human shields. Two Taliban commanders, Aman Gul and Masood Khan, were reportedly hiding explosives at the site, which detonated during the attack.

Locals shared videos showing injured children and destruction in the village. Around 2,000 people demonstrated in a nearby town against the deadly strikes. The Pakistani government has not released an official statement yet, and four houses were confirmed damaged.

Relations between the two neighbors have worsened in recent months. After the deadly Pahalgam attack in April, India launched Operation Sindoor, striking terrorist bases. Pakistan retaliated with attacks on Indian military camps. This exchange quickly escalated, with both sides carrying out drone and missile strikes. The tension eased only after both countries reached an understanding on May 10.

Dar reminded that the composite dialogue with India began in 2003 under General Pervez Musharraf. It covered eight major issues, including Kashmir, trade, and security. However, the process collapsed after the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks and was never revived.

While Indian leaders maintain that talks will only focus on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and terrorism, Dar insisted that Islamabad’s diplomatic efforts had gained global attention. He also warned that Pakistan is fully prepared to respond strongly to any aggression by India on land, air, or sea.
